Read whatever, whenever, however.

I simply cannot list my best reads for 2019 until the end of the year. What if I finish a really great book on December 29? (Plus, today is my birthday so I can do anything I want). Traditionally, I try to cull my list to ten but then I remembered that this is my... Continue Reading →
Not much change in Australia this week except that there are still many bushfires and everything/everyone is busy in the lead up to festivities this week. I didn't dare brave the shopping centre crowds, so it was lucky that the postie was kind to me this week… This Lovely City by Louise Hare (available 24th... Continue Reading →

It was one of those weeks. Started a lot of books, and only finished one. Read a lot of textbook chapters, did a lot of necessary jobs and had some fun (including watching a reasonable amount of Netflix). Even though I didn't have much time for reading, I did buy a few books. Fentanyl, Inc.... Continue Reading →
